What is it about the Norton that gets you hook, line and sinker?

If it means anything at all, lately my 961 has been the "go to" bike of the bunch. At least until I get the clutch adjusted on my Mk3. It definitely is a pleasure to ride out on the open road (which we have a lot of out here in rural Vermont). But in town I'd rather be on my Mk3 or even the Triumph S3. The 961 just ain't happy at slow speeds and/or stop and go traffic. :rolleyes:

I still haven't found a sweet spot on my 961 for slow town traffic, i'm either crawling in 1st with a mild clutch slip to avoid snatching or I am constantly back and forth between 1st/2nd to match traffic on the move in a 30mph zone, 15-25mph isn't that bad but of course traffic isn't always so obliging :)
